Kodak Zi8 Wallops Flip With 1080p, Image Stabilizer and SD Slot

Kodak’s almost-glimpsed product tease was indeed a new pocket cam, potentially their best yet. Launching with an MSRP of $180, it will overpower the Flip Ultra HD with 1080p recording, an electronic image stabilizer, SDHC card slot and other enhancements.

The list of improvements continues: The Zi8 has an external mic jack, and it’ll shoot 5-megapixel stills, track faces of subjects and, according to Kodak, “see more details and accurate colors in low light.” Now that’s something we’re looking forward to, especially since low light seems to be the biggest bane of these Flip-class cameras.
